    Seems like Wardley is fighting Pulev for the WBA regular belt next then. Wardley should be able to walk through him at this stage.

    I thought it was going to be Gassiev.

    Oh well, I wish Wardly luck too. He's one of the bright spots for the future.

    Wardley would beat faded Pulev for sure.

    I suppose it's less ridiculous to have Wardley as WBA "world" champion than old Pulev.

    Wardley destroys Pulev, great move for Fabio tbh, he's high risk low reward ATM.

    But by beating Puleve he either gets a shot at Usyk, or is champion when Usyk retires.

    It's the WBA, though. they may give Fres Oquedo a shot instead.

    Pulev is a strong gatekeeper ATM imo, its a reasonable step-up from Clarke. Pulev may have a slight edge in the skill department and is awkward but he is very old, pretty faded, and his chin surely hasn't been getting any better.

    I think it will be an early to mid KO for Wardley.

    Bakole is at #2. Final eliminator with the winner to face either Gassiev or Pulev would be good.

    No it's about Wardley, not Moses.

    Just read an article on sky sports news that Frasier Clarke wants the fight with Pulev

    Yeah almost like when the WBA created Dubois as a mandatory to fight Usyk out of nowhere.

    Well that actually aged very well didn't it. Miller, Hrgovic, AJ, he's now one of the best HWs in the whole world.

    Only because Usyk didn’t get counted out. Dubois was in no way shape or form a legit title contender at that point.
